April 5th is a big protest day but people who believe in America should believe in their democracy enough to be willing to go to jail, or depend on what we know is not Dem leadership, to hold Trump back, or any foreign country to say enough of the chaos. It is up to We the People.
Let me tell you what I believe and you can call it hyperbole, or crazy or whatever but I don’t know where the people of America knows where a red line is. Let me tell you what I believe that bunch of republicans under Trump are aiming for or wouldn’t suprise me.
First of all I am old enough to know when there was a national abortion ban.
I remember the civil rights movement. I remember the marches and protests and YEARS it took to give a person of color the right to vote without a brawl and beating or lynching.
I remember how women were treated in the workplace and we still are striving for equal pay.
I remember segragation and blacks being allowed in movie houses only to sit in the balcony and in some states not allowed to be seated with whites present. They had to go at different times and not opportune times. I remember the whites only and colored only bathrooms and water fountains and business places. The signs “ We reserve the right to refuse service”.
I remember domestic violence being accepted by the Police like Friday night wife beating was a ritual.
I remember women not allowed to buy anything without a man’s signature.
Oh yes I remember.
If we don’t start standing up strong and quit acting like deers in headlights, this is what Trump means by making America great Again. Don’t forget his treatment of POC in the 70’s with his racist Dad and rental polices.
He is a convicted felon not once not twice but thirty some odd times and not in jail but President of the United States. Don’t think he is through tearing America apart, he is just getting started. He after all has decades of years and laws to undo and judges to fire and scare people into submission and 4 years to do it unless stopped. Once he accomplishes all of this nonsense don’t be surprised if he wants the POC and women back in his idea of where they belong as being treated inferior and loss of freedom.
If We the People allow him to continue down this path and these legislators to stay in power supporting this chaos then this is where we are headed.
No matter what it takes...this has to stop. He and his minions have to be stopped. The good ole go along to get along days are gone. Republicans think we are weak and pushovers and unless something is done to stop them, then they will be right. At this point I had rather fight than leave. I am an American. My husband is adisabled veteran. We depend on our social security and VA. Every day the cost is putting us further and further in a strain.
I heard a journalist and legislator say this weekend that it is Street time. It is past time.
So who are we? Where is our red line? How much do we lose before there is a red line?
We better figure it out quick or we will be ruled by a King. He already is acting like one..
You better think about it. That day is upon us of being ruled by power, greedy authoritarians .
We all better think about the reality of this situation….The clock is ticking.
Face it….He doesn’t care if we all die if he can rule till he dies ...The man is insane. He doesn’t care if he rules over 300 million or 3 million as long as he is the ruler.
I am tired of the word unprecidented. We have used that word more in the last several years than in the entire time America has been in existence, but yes, these are unprecidented times.
